Could 'leaked UFO photos taken from US submarine in 1971' prove existence of aliens?

originally posted by: mirageman

Specialist researchers of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) believe the black and white images - supposedly taken from the USS Trepang SSN 674 submarine in March 1971 - are evidence of secret US aircraft tests or alien lifeforms looking to carry out an early form of fracking.

This bothers me. So a "specialist" in researching UFOs (unidentified by definition), looks at some photos, and "believes" (very scientific) it is "evidence" of "secret US aircraft", or "alien lifeforms". What possible reason could someone have to justify jumping to the conclusion that the photographic anomalies are "alien lifeforms"?

The immediate jump into brash speculation is damaging to this area of research.

Great stuff - thanks.

Another very curious thing - the last post in this thread is from August 2015. So how did it get bumped and appear in my Recent Posts page?

Wondering if one of the ATS staff or mgmt bumped it. If so - why?

I also think there is no reason to refer to aliens.....it's an interesting photo that I think is genuine, but it just simply is an Unidentified Flying Object, objeto volador no identificado.....un OVNI.

Bump due to new thread same subject….
